Sketches:
Initial sketches were based off of John Gast's American Progress. These sketches eventually developed into the relief sculpture-type monument.
The front view of the monument depicts Liberity reaching out towards the next frontier.
The back of the monument reads Commander Neil A. Armstrong's famous quote from the Apollo 11 mission: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Large bits of jagged moon rock stick out of the side of the monument to represent the untamed wilderness that is the moon.
This sketch shows the monument in relation to both the President Grant Memorial as well as the U.S. Capitol. Its size is approximately to scale with the Grant Memorial.
